    Hmmm. I do have the old scales but to tell you the truth they seem rather narrow. Then again, I possibly exaggerated the blade width a little, it's 7/8 at the widest point.

    It's rather funny that there are suggestions I make my own. You clearly don't know me. I have very few tools. Then again I keep looking around the house for things I could use.

    I AM a little worried that last night I considered digging up the cat we buried in the garden last year to use its bones.

    I wonder if the farmer next door would notice if one of his cows lacked a horn? I do have a hacksaw blade. But how to DO it, that is the question. Maybe a rag soaked in chloroform held to Daisy's unsuspecting nose in the dead of night?

    You also could find an old razor with good scales to restore but with a useless blade... those are cheap.

    Yeah, thought about that. I'm thinking of the bone scales here...
